First, all of the equipment was obtained and placed on the table. The necessary equipment was weighed using a top loader balance, which used grams as its unit of measurement. The test tube, which held the samples, was filled with water from a plastic squirt bottle. A piece of filter paper, which had been folded several times, was placed over a funnel over an Erlenmeyer flask to filter the mixture in the test tube. The test tube mixture was poured onto the filter paper. In order to get the rest of the solids out of the test tube, a glass rod with a rubber end was used. Also a pencil was used to hit the side of the test tube to knock down the leftover substances. Eventually, the glass rod, resulting in Jonathan being cut and losing blood, broke …show more content…
Some of the substances recovered more than 100% and others recovered very little. Given that the Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed in an isolated system, these numbers are incorrect. The sand had more than 100% recovery due to several reasons. Firstly, when dissolving the salt in the water, not all of the salt was dissolved in the water. Also when the sand was being filtered, 2% of the salt did not go through the filter paper, but rather stayed with the sand. This would explain why 2% of the salt was missing in the percent recovery and why the sand had an extra 2%, the other 1% percent from the camphor. The camphor lost 79% of its original mass due to several sources of error. First, the test tube, in which the original sample was held, was broken. Some of the camphor was determined to have fallen out onto the floor. Also when the camphor were being taken out of the broken test tube, some of the camphor was impossible to reach, which would result in less camphor recovered. Second once the camphor was being sublimated, the beaker had a spout in which gas was being released. A majority of the camphor was determined to have been released into the air. Also, since the filter paper was soaked with water, the inside of the beaker was covered in water, including the watch glass on which the camphor was supposed to form crystals. The camphor was unable to form crystals and exited the beaker through the
The objective of this lab was first to convert the mass of a compound to the number of moles and number of molecules and then determine the concentration of salt and its component. The first thing we did was get the mass of an empty container by using a scale and it came out to be 16.87g. Next thing we did was pick a substance which in this case it was Potassium Chloride and placed it on the scale to get a total mass of 31.20g. The container the Potassium Chloride was in only had a mass of 16.87g which means that the mass of the substance was 14.33g. To convert the mass to the number of moles we took the amount of the substance 14.33g and divided it by the mass of Potassium Chloride 74.55g and figured out that the number of moles was 0.192.
Mole of chlorine : 1.0217g - .221g - .3946 g = .4061 g of chlorine
7.The air dried filter paper was then placed on the weighing scale and results were recorded
1) The materials: cup, gummy bear, triple beam balance, water, metric ruler, and pencil were utilized for the experiment.
To calculate the percent by mass, we are to take the mass in grams of a particular salt and divide it by the mass in grams of the original sample, and then multiply it by 100.
We first started this experiment by obtaining twelve 15ml test tubes, in which we placed in a rack and labeled each with what
Procedure: I used a ruler, thermometer, and scale to take measurements. I used a graduated cylinder, short step pipet, scale, and ruler to determine volume and density. I used a volumetric flask, graduated pipet, pipet bulb, scale, and glass beaker to determine concentrations and densities of various dilutions.
The mole is a convenient unit for analyzing chemical reactions. Avogadro’s number is equal to the mole. The mass of a mole of any compound or element is the mass in grams that corresponds to the molecular formula, also known as the atomic mass. In this experiment, you will observe the reaction of iron nails with a solution of copper (II) chloride and determine the number of moles involved in the reaction. You will determine the number of moles of copper produced in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the number of moles of iron used up in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and determine the number of atoms and formula units involved in
The mass percent of water was determined using the mass of water and dividing it by the total mass of the hydrate and then multiplying that answer by 100%. The number of moles of water in a hydrate was determined by taking the mass of the water released and dividing it by the molar mass of water. The number of moles of water and the number of moles of the hydrate was used to calculate the ratio of moles of water to moles of the sample. This ratio was then used to write the new and balanced equation of the dehydration process. The sample was then rehydrated to the original state and the percent of the hydrate recovered was calculated by using the mass of the rehydrated sample by
There are various techniques to separate a mixture of compounds from each other. One of the commonly used way to isolate compounds from a mixture of two compounds is called extraction. This method of extracting two compounds from each other relies on the different solubility of the compounds in two different solvents.
The volume of a small test tube and a thin-stemmed pipet were determined in this section of the lab. Water was poured into a small test tube until the water reached the very top edge of the test tube. The test tube was then emptied into a plastic 25 mL graduated cylinder and volume was measured and recorded into data table 3. A think-stemmed pipet was completely filled with water. Drops were carefully counted and emptied into the empty plastic 25 mL graduated cylinder until the water level reached 1 mL. The number of drops in 1 mL was recorded into data table 3. The thin-stemmed pipet had a total volume of 4 mL and that was also recorded into data table 3.
Since we obtain an unknown proportion of a mixture, it’s important to mention that a mixture is a result of a combination of two or more pure substances that do not react chemically. The physical properties of a mixture depend on its composition because the amounts of each substance making up a mixture can vary. By taking advantage of the unique physical properties of individual components within a mixture, it should be possible to separate a mixture into its components. Mixtures have the following fundamental properties:
0.1 gram of my product from the second trial was weighed in a tray and was then added to a fourth test tube containing 2.0 mL of Iron (III) chloride, which was measured using a 10 mL graduated cylinder, to test for
The materials used during the experiment included three plastic cups, three gummy bears, masking tape, marker, balance, calculator, tray, one plastic spoon, a measurement tray, and a ruler. The three plastic cups were used to hold the tap water, salt water, and sugar water. The masking tape and marker were used to label each cup with the
Then, each group of students received the necessary materials to complete the experiment. When the students received the cups, they labeled cups to distinguish between the salt solution, distilled water, and control group. After weighing the cups and finding the mass of the cucumbers, the students poured 50 ml of water in one cup, 50 ml of salt solution in the other, and left the control cup empty. Then, the students placed the cucumbers into the cups and waited 30 minutes for the results. After the 30 minutes, the students removed the cucumbers from each solution and dried the cucumbers with paper towels. The students then weighed the cucumbers again and recorded their results. Lastly, the students found the difference from the original mass of the cucumbers and recorded their results.
